Where to eat and what to order ? Glenelg Public House is EXCEPTIONAL- no other word for it. We have been there over 50 times in the past few years and have NEVER once had an imperfect meal. The wagyu eye, roasted pumpkin with orange sauce, mash potatoes, house made bread and butter-PERFECTION. Great atmosphere- cosy industrial styled dinning and great welcoming management. You will not be disappointed- generally you have to book ahead a few days or you won’t get a table- we would recommend to anyone wanting to get or have a truly magnificent steak. Love love love this place.

Absolutely loved the ambience of this gorgeous restaurant. Beautifully lit and well thought out dining spaces. The staff were genuinely lovely, attentive, not over the top but really welcoming and kind. The food was outstanding, we had the gf bread (best gf bread we’ve had out in a while) lamb entree, wagyu and pork main, parish mash and the pavlova for dessert. All were beautiful, the pork was a little less tender than hoped but still good. We will definitely be back.
